Image of the Week: Wendover

MANHATTAN IN UTAH
The image above depicts a hangar in Wendover, Utah, that was used to support the development of America's atomic wepaons program. This hangar was once used to house the B-29 Enola Gay while members of the 509th Bomb Wing conducted training for the eventual nuclear strikes on Japan.
